1
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: Well, this week was certainly a departure from the normal

2
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: films that we watch.

3
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: You're telling me, you are telling me, this was another

4
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: week of like I guess, unexpected things to be on

5
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: the channel. Yeah, which I'm actually digging it, Like, I'm

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: like loving the changes that we're seeing a part of

7
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: Disney that I had no idea until we started doing this,

8
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Like yeah, there's.

9
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: These little these little kind of offshoots where it's like, wait,

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: what is this one? What is this one? What is

11
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: the way she's a gas bubble? Like, it's all these

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of you never know what's going to happen.

13
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: That one I probably could have done without. But that's

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: all right.

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: I agree. Well, let's find out if this week we

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: could do with or without our movie. So, first of all,

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your popcorn

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: and go back to a time when all the houses

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: were smart, the waves, tsunamis and the high School's musical.

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian Hilloam everyone, it's

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: time to throw an alley up to God as we

23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: recap a wild honka sports movie. Yes, you heard that right,

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: a wild Honka sports movie. It is the two thousand

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and three d COM Full Court Miracle. It debuted on

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: November twenty first, two thousand and three, just in time

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: for a Honka season. And yes, again, this is a

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Jewish sports movie. Not the largest of subsets of films

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: in this genre, one that does immediately come to mind

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: as school ties. But let's be honest, there aren't a

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: lot of Honka movies either. Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: is probably the most popular the few. But let's put

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: Full Court Miracle very high on that list now, because

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: it is a very short list. It was filmed in Toronto,

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: our DCOM destination to the North Nose Prize there, Sarna.

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: Are you a basketball fan?

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: I am. I think, uh, football comes first, but I

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: do like basketball. I do like basketball movies.

39
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: I okay finding out I do. What's your favorite basketball

40
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: movie of all time?

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: Obviously Double Team?

42
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: No?

43
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: Actually my favorite? No, I'm thinking I don't think I

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: have a good oh A love in basketball?

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Evan. Now have you have you ever seen Hoosiers?

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: No?

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: Is it good?

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman?

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: Oh?

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, phenomen like the quintessential basketball movie small Town and

52
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: yeah it's I mean, I think it won several Academy Awards,

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: like it's wow. Yeah it's check out Hoosiers.

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: I gotta, I gotta check it out.

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Now, this movie might not be Hoosier's, but let's see

56
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: what we got, uh Gene Hackman, by the way, spoiler alert,

57
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: not in Full Court Miracle, just that I'm sure they

58
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: tried to get him. But busy, this, busy, busy man,

59
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: busy this week. Now, we commonly point out when a

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: film is a critical success, but sometimes we have to

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: point out when it's exactly the opposite, which of course

62
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: is the case with Full Court Miracle. Laura Fries may

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: have a delicious name, but her feelings on this movie

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: were not as golden, thank you very much. She wrote

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: in Variety. The director missed a prime opportunity to present

66
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: a poignant and entertaining multicultural alternative to the usual holiday viewing,

67
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: and was inconsistent between comedy and meaningful drama and not

68
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: even Jewish publications like this movie. Joe Esconazi of Jay

69
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: Weekly found the adult characters to be one dimensional, and

70
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: though he praised the young actors, he called this film

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: cheesy boy yeah. On the bright side. However, this film

72
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: is inspired by the true story of University of Virginia

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: basketball player Lamont Carr and his postseason experience with coaching

74
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: here at Magical rewind. Of course, we love a true story,

75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: so it can't be that bad, can it. Well, let's

76
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: find out. It was also nominated for two very impressive awards.

77
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: First up, of course, it was the Humanities Prize, a

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: distinction we all know about because of the Color of Friendship,

79
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: a DCM that did actually win the award. It was

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: also nominated for Best Children in script at that year's

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: Writers Guild of America Awards. So come on, critics, let's

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: calm down the haters here people, And in case you

83
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: were wondering, you can catch Full Court Miracle right now

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: in Disney Plus. But it's up to you when your

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: press play. You can watch right now before we get

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: our own analysis, or listen after we wax poetic. Similarly,

87
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: you can eat ice cream for breakfast. You have free will.

88
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: It's time to exercise it. Become your own person. We well, me,

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: I believe in you, Sabrina. It does not, so I

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: feel like we can predict this answer before we even

91
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: ask each other. But did you know about Full Court

92
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: Miracle before the podcast sent us the spereau of knowledge?

93
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: And I would like to say that feels an I

94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: again to me, it's right in that timeline. It certainly looked.

95
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: I felt like the beginning looks so much like Cheetah

96
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: Girls in New York.

97
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Two thousand and three is when Chetah Girls came out,

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: isn't it right?

99
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: So it is strange that I didn't know, But I

100
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: guess also not strange because especially at that time, like basketball, well,

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that would have been really like

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: something that I would have tuned into if I did

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: see like a promo for it.

104
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: So but this is Disney again, that the Disney we

105
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,679
Speaker 1: know in love, especially at that time, kind of doing

106
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: more niche movies like Color of Friendship kind of niche,

107
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: and yes, this movie kind of niche, taking a small

108
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: kind of subject and let's do a film about it,

109
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: which is what they're great at.

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: Yes, And I think it also kind of represents them

111
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: really searching for where their d coms like the where

112
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: to hit that perfect spot, you know, but at the

113
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: same time very very different idea and opening a new

114
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: world to the viewers as well. Possibly you know more

115
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: and more more detail of a world they might not

116
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: know about.

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, sharing culture with kids all around the world, which

118
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: is what Disney really does, which is great. Yes, are

119
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: you gonna ask me?

120
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: I I guess I'll ask you, but I mean we.

121
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: All know might be surprised. No, I'm not going to

122
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: view you might do anything. I did not know anything

123
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: about this movie, so no, you were You're right to

124
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: not be surprised, and I wouldn't trust me from this

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: moment on frankly, but it is. It is. By the way,

126
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: just a fun little side note. I was at a

127
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: convention this weekend and so many people now are talking

128
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: about Magical Rewine, and a woman came up to me

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: and said, Hey, I've got an idea for you guys.

130
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: And I said what she said, in the future, when

131
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: you're rating the movies, one should be the lowest and

132
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: ten should be the highest. And I was like, oh,

133
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: great idea.

134
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly what they're talking about.

135
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Because that was that's a good idea, and we're going

136
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: to use it, but not right now, because right now

137
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: we're going to strike up the generator. We're keeping the

138
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: lights on for the synopsis. Alex A Young Jewish basketball

139
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: star convinces it down on his luck former college star

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: to coach his struggling team. Their journey mirrors the Hanika

141
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: story as they discover perseverance, faith, and unexpected miracles both

142
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: on and off the court. This movie is directed by

143
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Canadian local Stuart Gillard, best known for his work on

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: Teenage Mutant Ninja, Turtles, three, Can't Believe, I Haven't Seen That,

145
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: and two D coms Twitches and twenty twelves Girl Versus Monster.

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Don't know what that is, but let's get that on

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: the list. He also directed TV shows like Charmed, One

148
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Tree Hill, and nine O two one O. And the

149
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: movie stars Alex d Lintz as Alex Schlatsky, a name

150
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: based on Carr's real life player Alex Barbag. I'm not

151
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: going to touch that name, so it sounds a little

152
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: like barf Bag, but we're not going to get into that.

153
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: Lynce is best because the poor kid growing up must

154
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: have gotten that all the time.

155
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: I know, poor Alex, Yeah, exactly.

156
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Hey, when I say my name fast and I say

157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,240

00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: we have actors with more initials. We've got a veteran

174
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,600

Speaker 1: Chloe and if you could See What, which is kind

177
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: of a confusing title. Yeah, then you got Sheila McCarthy

178
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: who plays the Cold Missus Kleine. She was in the

179

00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: hologram Alien Scout. We haven't seen Zombies three yet. Oh wait,

182
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: Zombi's three. Yes, so Zombies three. See now I'm getting

183
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: all confused that it was the Sendence three. So she's

184
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: the Alien Scout, got it. She's also and this is

185
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: what I know her from, in Diehard two playing Big Ben.

186
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: One of Alex's teammates is Sean Marquette, known to our

00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: all the time on Podmets World anytime an actor does this.

195
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: She was also on Seinfeld but no matter who appears

196
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: in the film. We all know the most important part

197
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: of any movie reviewed on Magical Rewind the run time

198
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Yes and full court Miracle comes in at I just

199
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: I feel I need someone to hold me. I know,

200
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: I say, amazing, ninety minutes, ninety minutes.

201
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: Minutes, hitting it on the mark, ding ding ding ding.

202
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Ding ring, the alarm, set off the fireworks, scream for

203
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: the mountaintops. We hit the target. Everybody close up shop,

204
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: We can go home. Thank you so much for listening

205
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: to Magical Rewind. We will not be back next week

206
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: or any week.

207
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: After because we've hit.

208
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: Timing perfection, but congrats to all involved. We will of

209
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: course be back next week because there'll be some other

210
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: movie that'll be ninety three minutes that we have to

211
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: bitch about. This movie was written by a team. We

212
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: have Joel Silverman, writer of movies like Nailed Death to

213
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: Supermodels and Surf School. I don't know several of those titles,

214
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: but by god, I want to see them all. And

215
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: then we have Joel Kaufman and Donald Yost, a legendary

216
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: writing team here on the podcast because they wrote a

217
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: possible Best dcom winner, Miracle in Lane two. So Obviously,

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: anything they write has to have the word miracle.

219
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 2: In the Oh, that's a good point, it's true.

220
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: I wait till you see their third installment, which is

221
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: just called Miracle of Miracles, The Miracle Story of Miracles.

222
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: All right, it's Lions versus Warriors at East Hebrew Academy,

223
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: the most important game in the history of humanity. But

224
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: first let's get into full court miracle. Now, we may

225
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: have shot the movie in Toronto, but we get some

226
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: busy streets of Philadelphia establishing shots to start the movie.

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: As my illustrious host pointed out, it looks exactly like

228
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: the start of Cheetah Girls. It really does. It's kind

229
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: of that moving camera, the skylines a little bit fuzzy.

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: It is so early aughts it's not even funny.

231
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: It's definitely a movie. Monroe did not watch this with me,

232
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: but if she watches she'd be go, oh, mommy, this

233
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: movie is old.

234
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: Exactly does it looks like old home video? It shot

235
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: in one of those giant camcorders. Yep. This is where

236
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: we meet a young Alex Schlatsky who's wearing a yamaka

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: and dribbling on the sidewalk. He's with his friend Julie,

238
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: who reminds him his basketball team is so bad that

239
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: even Alan Irison couldn't help them win a game. We

240
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: find out they've lost nineteen in a row, but Alex

241
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: thinks today is the day they could turn it around

242
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: against the undefeated Warriors and their star player, Tyler Oo. Tyler,

243
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Julie says Austin Luego and Alex as Shlom in the

244
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: most eighty yard conversation we maybe have ever seen in

245
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: the history of our d coms. It's bad they obviously

246
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: just recorded everything in a booth. It was too loud. Eventually,

247
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Alex makes it to his school, Hebrew Learning Academy, to

248
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: meet up with his teammates. We learn Alex is the

249
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: only good player on the team, and they'd at least

250
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: win a game if they could just clone him for

251
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: all five positions. We also meet our let's call her

252
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: semi villain in missus Klein, a stern teacher who busts

253
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: Alex for dribbling in the hallways. In all fairness, you're

254
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: not allowed to dribble the ball in the hallways in

255
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: any school. Everyone knows that. Now we're in a religious

256
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: studies class taught by Rabbi Lewis. Alex and his friends

257
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: are learning about Judah and the Maccabees and their treacherous

258
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: battle in Israel, a story that helps explain Hanukkah mid lecture.

259
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Alex starts to daydream, placing himself on a very dusty

260
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: basketball court and what we can assume is Israel in

261
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: one sixty five BC. Alex, now dressed perfectly for the

262
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: time period, is dramatically backed up by the rest of

263
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: his ragtag team. They're representing Antioch, they are representing Antioch's army,

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: and he's the great leader sent to save Israel. Surrounded

265
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: by cheering locals, Alex steps up to play against Tyler

266
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: and the Warriors, now all dressed like intimidated soldiers. I

267
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: think they were trying to be Roman. I'm guess it

268
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: looked to me. Yeah, and yes, this is as that

269
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: crazy a scene as it sounds like it is. It

270
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: was like, wait, huh no.

271
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: I swear. I was like, on, is this how this

272
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 2: movie is gonna go? I'm here. I mean.

273
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: To just lean into any religion, doesn't matter what religion

274
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: it is, but to really really really lean into it

275
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: like this. I was like, oh wow, Oh they're they're

276
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: going for it. Yeah, yeah, so yeah. Alex chucks the

277
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: ball into the air and we're thrown back into the present.

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: It's game day against the Warriors and the Hebrew Learning

279
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: Academy Lions are down by more than twenty points. The

280
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: players on the bench aren't even paying attention. They're doing homework.

281
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: Even their coach, mister Simowitz, is grading papers. Julie and

282
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: Alex's dad are in the stands watching the massacre, where

283
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: Alex is becoming a bit of a ballhog. Another Lions player, TJ,

284
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: trips a player and is thrown out of the game.

285
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: As they conquer the Lions, Tyler turns to Alex and

286
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: warns him if he thinks this is bad, wait until

287
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: they play against each other in the upcoming tournament. Oh

288
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: setting up some tournament stuff. Then the next day at school,

289
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Alex and his pals are talking about upcoming Hanukkah gifts,

290
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: but one of the boys, lovingly names Stick says the

291
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: focus of the holiday shouldn't be on gifts. It should

292
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: be on the miracle of light and the victory of

293
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the Maccabees. But the guys don't fully believe in those

294
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: miracles and call the whole thing a fairy tale. One

295
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: day's worth of candle oil magically lasts for eight days.

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: Come on, Okay, you live in Orange County. Yes, Orange

297
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: County not necessarily known as having a huge Jewish community,

298
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Am I right?

299
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Correct?

300
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Now? Have you ever celebrated Hanukkah? No? Never? I know

301
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: what about?

302
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: I don't even know. No, I don't even know much about.

303
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I know the eight days and the

304
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: lighting of the candles, but I don't even really know

305
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: like the full Hanukkah story, right, So, and I because

306
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: I didn't even know like it. There. It's not that

307
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: there aren't Jewish people in Orange County or that I

308
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily grow up around them. I just didn't happen

309
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: to have anyone that was like to the point where

310
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: they'd ever like invite me over, you know what I mean,

311
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: to where I'd have an opportunity to really learn much

312
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: about it.

313
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Gotcha? Yeah? Every year. So my dad's best friends growing

314
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: up were Jewish. So every year we'd go to pass

315
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Over dinner and they'd come to us for Christmas Eve. Ohkay,

316
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: we learn all about the Jewish customs and they come

317
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: help us decorate our tree. So yeah, I was reading

318
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: the questions and searching for the Maza and doing all

319
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So yes, I was familiar with this,

320
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: but not, I mean not obviously the whole backstory of

321
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: the Maccabees and all that kind of stuff. They really,

322
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: again for Disney, really leaned into.

323
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: It, I feel like, I mean, as we got more

324
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: so at first, I feel like it kind of hits

325
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: you right from the beginning, but then it really for me,

326
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: seemed like it kind of became a lot more about

327
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: the culture of the Jewish community as much more than

328
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: like the religion religion aspect. It didn't feel at first

329
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 2: I went, oh, they're really doing a religious movie, but

330
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: then it didn't feel like it was super religious as

331
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: we end ended up going on through.

332
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: The yeah, it wasn't. I didn't they They didn't continue

333
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: to use the kind of flashback thing. I think they

334
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: do it one more time towards the end, but it's

335
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: not it's not a go to in the film. I

336
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: thought they were going to keep cutting to that kind

337
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: of thing. But I mean, they do talk about religion

338
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: quite a bit in this movie. I mean it is

339
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: it's another character in this film, which again big swing

340
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: for Disney to.

341
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: Right into religion. But they as Disney does things like

342
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: this very well. It had a nice softness to it

343
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: too that it wasn't like jarring to where like if

344
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: you weren't interested in that like that, you'd get annoyed

345
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: and just turn it off. It was like it became

346
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more of just like an inspirational situation culture. Yeah,

347
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: well yes, versus it being very religious like you know

348
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: what I mean. It didn't hit too sharp to where

349
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: if that were to be something that would trigger or

350
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: you know, kind of rub you the wrong way you

351
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: were you were out of the movie. It didn't to me.

352
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: It wasn't that way.

353
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: No, it was, but again it was it's what Disney

354
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: does well, is hey, here's a culture you may not

355
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: be familiar with. We're going to do a movie about

356
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: it in a way you're you know, kids are going

357
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: to relate to. And it's gonna be about It's a

358
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: basketball movie, yes, set in the Jewish community. That's I mean.

359
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: So it's yeah, so very Disney.

360
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: I did have a question though, would is that to

361
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: where like they're yamakas wearing them while playing?

362
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they would. I think they always wear

363
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: them indoors.

364
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: Okay.

365
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: I think I think I don't.

366
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 2: Have speaking out of turn, but I guess it's it's

367
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: not it's not adhering. I mean, you know, because some sports,

368
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: you know, having like things that would maybe possibly be

369
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 2: I guess unsafe. I don't know, but I'm like, what

370
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: if what if the yamaka fell on the ground.

371
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're pinned on. I think they're always.

372
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's part of it. Yeah. Again,

373
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know nearly enough about the Jewish culture too

374
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: to speak on that, but I'm pretty sure they always

375
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: wear it indoors okay. The boys do give Alex some

376
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: grief about not passing the ball, but he blames them

377
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: for being too smart. To the athletes, he wants to

378
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: finally win this Liberty Tournament, especially because it will be

379
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: in their home gym. His teammates laugh and he His

380
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: teammates laugh, and Alex angrily storms off. Back at home,

381
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: Alex complains to his parents that his friends don't care

382
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: about basketball. His mom, explaining how impossible it is to

383
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: make it to the NBA, tries to shift his dreams

384
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: to medicine or becoming a lawyer, which Honestly, it's pretty

385
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: good advice. But at the same time, you still don't

386
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: try to kill your kid's dream. We'll get into her later. Yes,

387
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: then her pager goes off. She's been called to the hospital. God,

388
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: I miss pager, Sabrina, Are you too young? I've had

389
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: a page.

390
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: I had your pager. Oh. I had a pager. Oh,

391
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: and I I loved learning all the being able to

392
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: write out. I miss you if you flipped it over

393
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: or you know, all those different things that you won

394
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: four to three.

395
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Oh, God, the coche you would do. I had a pager.

396
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: What I did not have was friends. So the page

397
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: I got most was low battery, low battery.

398
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: And Mom.

399
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: I got that quite No, I don't think my mom

400
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: even paid me. She's like, I'll call him. I'm not

401
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna bet my mom wouldn't have known how to page

402
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: me come up. The next day at school, Rabbi Lewis

403
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: is in his office when he crumples up some paperwork

404
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and slam dunks it into a nearby lampshade. Alex walks

405
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: in just in time for the post basket celebration. He

406
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: asks the teacher more about Judah Maccabee and how he

407
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: led his outmatch team to victory. He knows they need

408
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: a Judah maccabee and the current coach just isn't cutting it.

409
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: The Rabbi suggests Alex talk to his mom, since she's

410
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: the head of the board of directors, but Alex knows

411
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: that won't go anywhere, so the Rabbi says he will

412
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: get a new coach, but only when Judah Maccabee allows

413
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: it to happen, which makes very little sense to the kid,

414
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: or let's be honest, the viewer, thanks, dude. Yeah. That afternoon,

415
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: Alex and Julie are playing one on one while Stick studies,

416
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: and they're all trying to figure out what Rabbi Lewis meant.

417
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: They assume it means a new coach will come when

418
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: the time is right, but Alex argues they need that

419
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: time to be now, and that's when he spots another

420
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: guy practicing nearby. It's a tall adult making every shot

421
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: and eventually slam dunking. Alex runs off to rebound for him.

422
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: The man continues to sink everything but ignores Alex's question.

423
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: Alex challenges him to a shootout. If the mystery man wins,

424
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: he'll leave him alone, but if Alex wins he'll reveal

425
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: his name, but instead the guy just threatens to stuff

426
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: Alex into the hoop, then grabs his ball and leaves

427
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: in a very sketchy van. But as he leaves, Alex

428
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: takes note of the license plate and so back in

429
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: his room, Alex is now teaching Stick how to stalk

430
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: somebody on the Internet and learns it was a special

431
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: University of Virginia booster plate on the back of a van,

432
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: and so that leads him to checking the school's basketball alumni,

433
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: eventually finding him former star point guard Lamar the Hammer Car.

434
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Stick thinks this man might just be their Judah maccabee,

435
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: especially since they share a nickname and his license plate

436
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: is j M one's sixty five Judah Maccabee's initials and

437
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: one sixty five for the year the Maccabee's drove out

438
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: the Invaders, and even though Alex isn't buying the jam connection,

439
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: he does think this could be their angel. After school,

440
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Alex has convinced his friends to come and see the

441
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: ghost of Judah Maccabee, even drawing the passing attention to

442
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: missus Klein, who stands below a sign that reads Sugar

443
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: and Video Games hazardous to your brain. And now back

444
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 1: at the park, the boys watch Lamar practice and are

445
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: blown away, but can't imagine the reincarnation of Judah Macabee

446
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: being a six foot five black guy. Alex points out

447
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: this man just showed up at their park exactly at

448
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: the same time they need a coach, so it must

449
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: mean something. Alex approaches the possible coach candidate again and

450
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: the results aren't much better the second time, but this

451
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: time Lamar notices just how bad the Lions are watching

452
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: them practice from airball to air ball, but he's watching

453
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: them from afar. Alex cuts right to the chase and

454
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: asks Lamar for help. The man laughs it off he

455
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have the time, but Alex assures him he does.

456
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: On the internet, it says he played for the CBA

457
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: for five years until he needed three knee surgeries, but

458
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Lamar promises his knee is better and has an upcoming

459
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: tryout with the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Coaching kids is

460
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: for has beens and wannabes, but when Alex offers him

461
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: some money, Lamar agrees to an hour long practice tomorrow

462
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: at four and drives off in that same sketchy van.

463
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: Back at Alex's.

464
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: So it was really like a rundown, just sketch like sketch, like.

465
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Hey, honey, where'd you meet your coach in a van

466
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: by the playground? Never an answer you want for anything.

467
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: I would if that van was anywhere near the playground.

468
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: I can't even tell you the like reroute of what

469
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: I would do to walk as far away from that

470
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: van as possible. I hate vans that look like that.

471
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: I do.

472
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: I go out of my way.

473
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: You would have dialed nine to one and had your

474
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: finger over the other one.

475
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: Just there's a van like that parked anywhere near my car,

476
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not like a mall or like a big

477
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: thing like that. I am on the phone. Jordan's on

478
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: the phone with me. I have my fingers with my keys.

479
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 2: I am ready for battle.

480
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: You like, are con prejudice against vans?

481
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Well, if you take any type of self defense or

482
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: you know, anything like that, that's what they say.

483
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: Like even Tyoh tells you to stay away from a van, yeah.

484
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: Like that, especially one with no window. Holy cow, If

485
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: that's happening to me, I am free.

486
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: The hell out well, or or they're teaching your children

487
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: how to play basketball, so never don't pigeonhole people.

488
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: You know, to be fair, this one was green. I'm

489
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: really scared of the white ones.

490
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: Okay again, okay, it makes a difference. You've got you've

491
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: got a color racism too, against believe.

492
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I just like honestly put that together because I was like, well,

493
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: at least it wasn't a white one. A. Those ones

494
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: are the worst. You know that they are.

495
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: They might be the worst to you, but they're great

496
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: when you want to rob a bank.

497
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.

498
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: Back at Alex's house, his mom, Cynthia, reveals a new

499
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: program at her hospital where students shadow doctors to see

500
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: if they like the profession. She wants Alex to participate.

501
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: In other words, she wants them to give up the

502
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: pipe dream of playing basketball. And the next day, though

503
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: a little late, Lamar does arrive for practice, surprising the

504
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: boys with a loud whistle and immediately putting them back

505
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: to work with intense time sprints over and over and

506
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: over again. By the end of practice, the boys are exhausted.

507
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: Lamar explains he's not there to be liked, there to

508
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: turn a bad team into a better one. Alex pays

509
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: him the rest of his money and they set up

510
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 1: another practice for the very next day. Back in his

511
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: van Sabrina's favorite thing in the world, Lamar sends a

512
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: letter back home to his kid, including the money he

513
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: just made from coaching. The next day, Lamar arrives for

514
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: day two, and the boys immediately question their new coach

515
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: about his family, trying to figure out if he could

516
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: be actually Judah. They learn his dad was called Skip

517
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: and he has three brothers, but it was four, just

518
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: like Judah, but one was killed while on duty as

519
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: a cop. Although the boys are affected by this revelation,

520
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: they're immediately put back to work, and during the rigorous

521
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: sprints Guess who bikes by Tyler Tyler and the Warriors,

522
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Alex is distracted by their trash talking, but Lamar gets

523
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: some refocus, but also realizes that these kids are being bullied,

524
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: and once practice is over, the boys are concerned about

525
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: spending all the money on Lamont. Their parents are starting

526
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: to ask questions, but Alex says he can't directly ask

527
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: his mom for money for basketball, so now he's tasked

528
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: with finding all the cash he can on his own,

529
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: so he decides to sell his prize Julia serving Basketball

530
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: car Doctor j just as his mom reveals he's been

531
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: accepted into the Doctor's Shadow program and it starts on Monday.

532
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: She didn't even ask him. She's like, you're going to

533
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: this thing and you're giving up basketball, like the one

534
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: thing this kid loves. To me that was like, really,

535
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: you're not gonna ask me to quit basketball. It took

536
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: You're just you're done with basketball? Mm not okay, Not okay, mom.

537
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get into to the mom a little

538
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: bit farther because she MAM's pissing me off. I'm gonna

539
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Mom's pissing me off. And I

540
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: get it's supposed to come from a good place. But

541
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: the thing that was interesting to me, and I don't

542
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: know if this is because again we don't know how

543
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: much of this is based on true it's based on

544
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: a true story, but you wonder how much is actually

545
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: based on a true story. It's supposed to be based

546
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: on the mont Car's life. But nine percent of these

547
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: movies the bad Parent quote unquote, the one where who

548
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: has the revelation who were always learning like, oh, should

549
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: we put them in the Hall of fame? Is the dad?

550
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: Yes?

551
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: Can you think of another one where it's the mom

552
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 1: that we want to chuck into the Hall of Fame

553
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: of dcom parent Hall of Fame double teamed Quints that mom.

554
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: You know, but she was distracted with the other kids,

555
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: which you know, understandably especially right, but she was because

556
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: it was both of them. Like the thing is, when

557
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: with the movies, there's usually one parent that's trying to

558
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: pull the other parent that's maybe not making the best

559
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: decisions and handling the situation the best, right, there's usually

560
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: the other parent that's kind of trying to like come on, like,

561
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: you know, but the two and Quince, they were just

562
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: equally just like crap.

563
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. I can't think of another just

564
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: straight up mom though, where it's the dad being the

565
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: good guy and the mom is like kind they.

566
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, This I think is a little bit of

567
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: a first I think.

568
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think maybe because again, wanting your kid to

569
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: be a doctor or a lawyer, most parents want something

570
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: like that for the kids. Grades.

571
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: I think that's an obvious You cant do extracurricular things.

572
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: But signing something, yeah, but signing up for something where

573
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: it's like she hadn't even gotten the grades yet, but

574
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: she's like it starts Monday, and hey, I'm literally in

575
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: the middle of basketball season right now. She didn't ask him,

576
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything, just like that's it, You're done with this,

577
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: and it's that I didn't didn't like that. No, So yeah,

578
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: well it's funny.

579
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: To be honest, I mean, not that you know, she's saying, like, oh,

580
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: it's just so extreme of an idea that you would

581
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: be an NBA. But being a doctor is a very

582
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 2: giant goal and not easy to attain either, even getting

583
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: into the right school that you want to get into

584
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: to be that doctor, especially since they've said up incredibly difficult.

585
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: They have clearly set up that Alex is like a

586
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: B student, right, this is he's not.

587
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: He's a student, so this is going to be a difficult.

588
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 2: I feel like that's almost equally.

589
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: It's just you can't you can't do something as hard

590
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: as play basketball. You have to do something as easy

591
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: as be a surgeon. Yeah, like wait what.

592
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, just even getting into the school

593
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 2: of anything seems like it would be very difficult for

594
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: our friend Alex, who's a B student.

595
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, unless you're going to Bob's upstairs medical college, then

596
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's going to be tough. But of course

597
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: Alex says he can't go on Monday he has basketball practice,

598
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: but his mom doesn't care. She needs him to get

599
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: ready for the rest of his life. Okay, we talked

600
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: about this, do we? I think, especially after most of

601
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: this movie. Again, she's never going to his games, she's

602
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: never there to support him, She's trying to stop him

603
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: from his dream. I have to put her in the

604
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: dcom Hall of Fame as bad parents, wouldn't you. I

605
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: guess she learns that, but they all do. But you

606
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: still got to go into the dcom Hall of Fame.

607
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, she's there.

608
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: She Gossibel first woman entry love that might be.

609
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: I know what, watch the first comment we get back

610
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: on that one of the guys are and correct, Yeah,

611
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: there's three or four of them.

612
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm surprised Producer Lisa somebody hasn't popped up and been like,

613
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: are you kidding? What about blah blah blah blah blah

614
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: blah blah. Right, Okay, and we'd missed the six that

615
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: we're like, oh that's right, Oh that's right, Oh that's right. Yeah.

616
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: But regardless, even if she's not the first, she's only one.

617
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: She's in later, Alex is back with Julie, who can't

618
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: believe he's selling his doctor J card. It was a

619
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: Barmot's foot present from his parents, but he knows to

620
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: win the tournament, his team needs to practice. Julie says

621
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: she might not understand what basketball means to him, but

622
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: she does know the Shadow program is awesome. So Alex

623
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: has an idea. She can take his place and he'll

624
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: handle his mom. Meanwhile, Lamar's very creepy van is overheated,

625
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: probably from all the children he's been kidnapping. In the back,

626
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: it weighed down. He's told he needs five hundred dollars

627
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: to get it fixed. Just as Alex arrives with his

628
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: doctor J money, but Lamar says the deal is off.

629
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: He needs to find some serious cash to fix his car,

630
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: but Alex isn't hearing it. He offers double the money

631
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: to make it worth his while, but Lamar says he

632
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,719
Speaker 1: can't do that in the kids. He can't do that

633
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: to the kids. Alex insists they need to practice in

634
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: the tournament is just two weeks away. Lamar is thankful

635
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: and accepts half the money up front, but Alex has

636
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: one more problem. The other guys are starting to hate basketball.

637
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: Lamar needs to ease up a bit and help them

638
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: love the game. Good advice. And so practice time is back,

639
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: and Lamar quickly shows that he's completely chilled out. Instead

640
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: of running drills today, they're gonna shoot. Oh yes, I

641
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: love shooting and that's the best part of practice, and

642
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: he does it with a smile. The Lions are loving

643
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: it and they're getting better. Lamar says they have potential

644
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: and ask them to stop putting themselves in a box

645
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: as just Jewish kids who can't play ball. He needs

646
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: them to believe in themselves. That night, Alex is on

647
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: the phone trying to figure out how they'll get Laman's money,

648
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: and for some reason, he's asking for coffee mugs, and

649
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: when his mom gets home, he lies and pretends he

650
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: was at the hospital today the next morning, which, again,

651
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: if she's a doctor at the hospital, wouldn't she know

652
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: that he wasn't there?

653
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean yes, I mean when you figure.

654
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: Her doctor colleague would be like, hey, your kid never

655
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: showed up today, right, And.

656
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: You would assume she'd be checking in on him, seeing

657
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: that he's.

658
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: Fourteen, you know, and he's a helicopter par Yeah.

659
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: And she's yeah, so that seemed to be a little

660
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: a little m a little stretched.

661
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also thought, if you're making up scenes for

662
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: the movie, like the entire thing obviously has to be disnified.

663
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: But what would have been great to get him out

664
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: of the program is he's falling around the doctor for

665
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: the first day. He knows he's got to get out.

666
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: He goes to the first page in one little drop

667
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: of blood and he pretends to faint. So it's like

668
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: they know he's not going to be a doctor kind

669
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, which could have been funny, but again

670
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we'll figure it out. The next morning,

671
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: we as the wonderful audience learned what the mugs were for.

672
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: The team is manning a little cart in front of

673
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: their school, raising money by selling coffee to parents and

674
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: the rabbis, but when missus Klein spots them, she's suspicious

675
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: of their real intentions. Back at home, Cynthia is bragging

676
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: at Alex's dad about her son following in her footsteps,

677
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: and he's nervous about selling a condo. So we have

678
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: a doctor in real estate agent, and just as they

679
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: can't find their espresso machine, missus Klein calls. He's been

680
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: busted for selling beverages, and now he must answer to

681
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: Rabbi Lewis, who's disappointed with all the lies. And Cynthia

682
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: has banned all strangers from coaching the basketball team, which again,

683
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: it's five kids meeting at a park after school. How

684
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: can you ban them from that?

685
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: You absolutely cannot.

686
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Right, It's like I'm meeting up with my friends at

687
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: a park and we're training with some guy. It's like saying.

688
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: Yourself exactly, and anyone's dad could be like, hey, if

689
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: anyone you know or just see, like my kid with

690
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: me and my kid Robert are playing and then all

691
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: of a sudden his friends are there and the dad's

692
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 2: like somewhat like helping, giving them tips.

693
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: Like there's no, you can't ban them for that. You

694
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: can't ban them for that.

695
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this, I mean this lady just yes, you know,

696
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 2: missus Klein is just hard too. She is I mean

697
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 2: what a just yeah, ruin, ruin are.

698
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: A fun not good? Yeah, she's a She's a what

699
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: they would call a traditional buzzkill.

700
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: Buzzkill. There you go.

701
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: Alex quotes the Torah to defend the new coach and

702
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Rabbi Lewitz kind of agrees, and that's why he's inviting Alex,

703
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Alex's parents and coach Lamont to his house for shoppis

704
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: this Friday night. Oh, this could get tricky, and so

705
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: we jumped to Shabas. Everyone is partaking in the festivities

706
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: while Lamont experiences some culture shock like putting horse radish

707
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: on your fish and lighting candles to prey. But he's

708
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: being a trooper and loves the food. But when he

709
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: asks for milk, he quickly learns about the Kosher lifestyle.

710
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Everyone wants to know more about Lamont and how he's

711
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: making the team better. Alex's mom certainly isn't sold on

712
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: this at all. She has some concerns, one being they

713
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: practice out on the street. That can't be safe. Again,

714
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: this is the park you let your kid go to

715
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: every single day. And so Rabbi Lewis has a solution.

716
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: He offers up the school jim for their practices. What

717
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: a great idea, except when they cut to them later

718
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: they're practicing outside still at the school, which made no

719
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: sense to me. Lamot makes sure the rabbi knows he

720
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: isn't Jewish, and the Rabbi jokes, yeah, he suspected that,

721
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: but it's all about acceptance and inviting all faiths to

722
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: join them in their teachings. And a little known fact,

723
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: the NBA was started by mostly Jewish teams, including the Knicks.

724
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: But Lamar still turns down the job. He's focused on

725
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: making the sixers. I suggest they make the job temporary

726
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: day to day. That way he can leave them when

727
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: he has to join her roster. But back at home, Cynthia, Oh, Cynthia,

728
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: the loving mom is of course furious. She tells Alex's dad, Marshall,

729
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: that she wants Alex to focus on something realistic for

730
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: his life. Again he's like thirteen, but his dad argues

731
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: that this is his dream and you can't stop a

732
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: kid from trying to achieve his dream, even if it's unlikely.

733
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, good advice, Thank you dad, Thank you dad.

734
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: And so the next day, Alex arrives with the new

735
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: basketball coach, LaMonte Carr, who sticks out like a sore thumb.

736
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: We get a good line when he says he feels

737
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: like quote a filter fish out of water unquote. Then, unfortunately,

738
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: the first person they run into is Missus Klein. Happy, Happy,

739
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: Missus Clyne. She's the fit. I'm not even gonna keep

740
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: singing for missus clein. She's the worst. She's anything but

741
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: welcoming and already mad about basketball being back in the hall.

742
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: But the former basketball coach mister Simowitz is thrilled that

743
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: they found in a replacement. He is off the hook

744
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: and him running up like thank you, thank you, thank you,

745
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: thank you.

746
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 2: And I was like, thank you. If I ever had

747
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 2: a coach that was just sitting doing grading papers or anything,

748
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 2: Oh my.

749
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: Gosh, yep. The Lions are getting better, but Alex is

750
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: still ball hogging. Rabbi Lewis catches some of the practice

751
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: and is already impressed with their growth, but Coach Lamont

752
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: knows they have a lot of confidence to build if

753
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: they want to beat the Warriors. Rabbi Lewis again mentions

754
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: the ancient Maccabees and how they dealt with being out numbered,

755
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: and it gives Lamon an idea. He immediately uses the

756
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: Maccabee strategy, also known as the full court press to

757
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: isolate and pressure the offense. After practice, Alex borrows TJ's bike.

758
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: Borrows is a quote unquote basically steals it to follow

759
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: Coach Lamont in his van Again little kid on a

760
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: bike folling a guy in a van not always good,

761
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: performing jumps and drifting to keep up. Eventually learning that

762
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: his mentor is living out of his car under a

763
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: bridge that doesn't make the van any better. Alex decides

764
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: to get a closer look and is caught by Lamont.

765
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: It's then that he reveals his team thinks he's the

766
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 1: ghost of Judah. Lamont laughs it off and invites the

767
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: boy to stay for dinner. While eating food on a bridge,

768
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: Alex hears all about the coaches CBA career. Alex is

769
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: jealous Lamont got a chance to follow his dreams, but

770
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: he admits he misses his son terribly. He explains, to

771
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: chase big dreams, you must make big sacrifices. He asked

772
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Alex not to tell anyone at school about his van.

773
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Good advice, and Alex agrees to keep quiet.

774
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: I love Lamont. I think he's such a great character.

775
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: Character's amazing in it. But I'm just going.

776
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: This is getting worse. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

777
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 2: If this isn't like a movie that would be on

778
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 2: like what like Hallmark right before the Little Kid gets

779
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 2: stolen exactly.

780
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: You change a couple things in this movie, and then

781
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: the titles wears Alex. It becomes a whole different thing, Alex.

782
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 2: It goes a very different direction. I mean, I'm just

783
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 2: kind of like, I mean, but I'm in it. I'm there.

784
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: I think I love Lamon's character.

785
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: Were the title full court miracle, the miracle could be

786
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: them finding Alex alive at the end of the movie

787
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: in the van a basketball. That's what it is. Yes, exactly.

788
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: I do love Lamont. I do love the depth they're

789
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 2: giving his character.

790
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: That he's also the by far the best actor in

791
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: the movie, and there's some good ones in there, but

792
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: he's killing it in this movie.

793
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: He is killing it absolutely, and I but I do

794
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: love like it's not he's not just like a selfish

795
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: guy that's you know, irritated, still trying to, you know,

796
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: figure out a way back to his dream that he had.

797
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: He's not just selfish. This is more. This is about

798
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 2: you know, his family too, you know, and providing so.

799
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: And at first I was like, oh, he's going to

800
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: keep taking money from the kids. I don't know how

801
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: I feel about that. But then he's like, because obviously

802
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: he needs the money, he's living in a broken down van.

803
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it was like, I don't

804
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: know how I feel about this, and then he started

805
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't keep taking this. I can't And

806
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, all right, good they're addressing that,

807
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: which is yes, that was He's like, he just keeps

808
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: packing the children's money to live in right. The next day,

809
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: at school, missus Klein visits Lamont and asked why he's

810
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: left the address section of his onboarding paperwork blank. He

811
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: blames a recent move, but she's not buying it. He

812
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: quickly makes up a number in street name by looking

813
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: at presidential portraits around the office, So yes, he lives

814
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: on Jefferson. That night, Alex's family lights a candle for

815
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: the first night of Hanukah. Lamont is comfortable in his van,

816
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: staring at his young son's art. Their situation could not

817
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: be more different. Alex's night one gift is an is

818
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: an Encyclopedia cd RAM. This pairs well with the pager.

819
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: Alex pretends he's excited about it that has handed a

820
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: replacement gift. It's the doctor j card. Julie told them

821
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: he sold it and so they made sure he got

822
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: it back. This is the thing I don't know about hannak.

823
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: I know each night there's different gifts that are specific

824
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: to the night, and I don't know what those are.

825
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: It's like I know because I had Jewish friends going

826
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: up there, like, oh, it's night whatever. Three. I'm making

827
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: this up so I know I'm wrong, but it's night three.

828
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: This is like the big night. This is where we

829
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: get our big gift. So that you know, each night

830
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: had something like a tradle was one night and I

831
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: think they got money one night. It was all something different.

832
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure if you like really got into it, there's

833
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: probably like a signifying reason.

834
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

835
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure significance of the kind of gift that

836
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: you're getting are like success or you know, it's.

837
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: Got to mean something.

838
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 2: It shows how it made me really like go. You know,

839
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: it's crazy, like I know about quite a few religions

840
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 2: and I've never really looked into things like this and

841
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: getting specifics and made me kind of go again, here

842
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 2: I am with Disney, like, oh, I want to travel to.

843
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: This place exactly.

844
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 2: I can learn more about jump roping.

845
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: The history The history of religions is super interesting when you.

846
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: Get absolutely so it's like, gosh, I really feel like

847
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: I want to dive into learning more about it, you know,

848
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: especially the traditions that they're still doing things that I

849
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: really that.

850
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Lasts for thousands of years. Very yes. The next day,

851
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: Rabbi Lewis notices Lamont's van in the school parking lot

852
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: and realizes he's probably sleeping in it. The revelation to

853
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: him just as missus Klein realizes the coach lied about

854
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: his address. Rabbi Lewis covers for Lamont because missus Klein

855
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 1: seems determined to get the coach fired, and she's also

856
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: and as if things aren't stressful enough, Alex got a

857
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: C minus god I'd be jumping for joy on his

858
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: most recent history test in Rabbi Lewis's class. But more importantly,

859
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: Rabbi Lewis warns Alex that missus Klein is going to

860
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: follow Coach Lamont home from practice tonight. Soph he does

861
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: something like, for instance, live in his van. He winks

862
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: she can get him fired with the news. Alex rushes

863
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: off to by the way, loves Rabbi Lewis loved him.

864
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: He was he was great.

865
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: He was the most like you just you just wanted

866
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: to give.

867
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: Him a high five. He was awesome.

868
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: Thank you for looking thank you for supporting and looking

869
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 2: out for these kids, because thanks for looking out, Robert

870
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: the only freaking one there. Yep, we're really thinking about

871
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,919
Speaker 2: what these kids want, what's best.

872
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true with this news. Alex rushes off to

873
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: ask his dad about those condos he's been trying to sell,

874
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: and then Alex leaves a note for Lamont. It includes

875
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: an address and a warning to be careful because missus

876
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: Klein will be falling behind him soon, and as warned,

877
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: a sneaky climb tails the van, eventually landing at the

878
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: Foresail condo. Alex secretly meets him at the door and

879
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: Hans McKey. He set up a full plan to make

880
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: it look like he lives there. Also missus Klein will

881
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: get off his back and it works, even ending with

882
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: Missus Klein soaked dinner convertible by a passing car splashing

883
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: a puddle. No need to go into more detail about that.

884
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: I have had such a similar situation. I've had two.

885
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: I've had two convertible cars, and you've.

886
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,359
Speaker 1: Been splashed while you were tailing of a basketball coach

887
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: who lived in a van. While trying to figure out

888
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: if you're actually lived.

889
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: In a place specific, but that like something has happened.

890
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 2: When I've been on the side of the street taking

891
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 2: my taking my top off of the car, you know,

892
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: and like it's like ern and waiting for it to go,

893
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 2: and this big truck came over and there just happened

894
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 2: to be a puddle, and of course my window you

895
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: have to have your windows down to do it. So

896
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 2: I literally like it just I mean, thank god, I

897
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 2: was looking like down a little bit, but it definitely

898
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 2: just like swiped across my face and it was like,

899
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: what the hell does happen?

900
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh, that's such a movie moment. That's such a movie moment.

901
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: There's either like r waiting, waiting, waiting. I get it's

902
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: such a great day. I should drive with the top down.

903
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: And then like what I hate la.

904
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: All right, well, you know what, We've got proof of concept.

905
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: Now we've got proof of concept that can really happened.

906
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: It's happened to Sabrina. I love that. Lamont says, of

907
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: course he cannot afford that big condo, but Alex says

908
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: he can stay there until his dad sells it. It

909
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: even helps sell it if it looks like someone lives there.

910
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: Alex offers to sell his doctor j card again if

911
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: he needs money for utilities. Eventually, the coach agrees to

912
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: staying there, but instead of Alex selling his card, La

913
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: Motte will finish the painting and fixing the place up

914
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: for potential buyers. And just like that, deal struck. That night,

915
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: Alex's mom gets home from work and spots Alex's C

916
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: minus and it's like he killed thousands of people. Oh

917
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: my god. First, it's.

918
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 2: Not I get it, not wrong, I get it. That's

919
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: below average.

920
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: She's not wrong, I get it, But come on to

921
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: see minus. The kid didn't get an F. You got

922
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: a C minus on one history quiz. But there's two

923
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: weeks left until the tournament. Two weeks this kid, it's

924
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: not Oh my god. The tournament's three years from now,

925
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: and this is the rest of my life.

926
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 2: It's fourteen days, okay, all right, I.

927
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: Mean, come on, first thing. The next morning, she's in

928
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: with the Rabbi Lewis and missus Kleine. She thinks her

929
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: son can't juggle school work in basketball and is willing

930
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: to evolve the board of directors if something isn't done,

931
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: which really feels like way too quick of an escalation.

932
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean again, what she's saying is my son can't

933
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: do both, so the coach needs to be fired, so

934
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: none of the kids can play basketball.

935
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: Yes, this is so relevant today now where how parents

936
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: react to things. It was unbelievable to watch because truly

937
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: it's like, this is the coach's fault, instead of it

938
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: being like, no, your kid's not making good decisions. Why

939
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: when he's home, he's not at practice all night? No,

940
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 2: the coach isn't calling practice from the time they get

941
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: out of school till nine ten o'clock at night. The

942
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 2: practices are, let's be honest, probably an hour and a

943
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: half two and a half hours most. What's your kids

944
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: doing time you are at home or your family or

945
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: whoever's watching him she's doing while he's at home? Like

946
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: sounds like a you problem, lady, not like a coach's problem.

947
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. She's like, I want to cancel

948
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: the whole thing because my kid got in.

949
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: Mind, and I want everyone to say I want the

950
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 2: whole team to suffer having the coach because my kid

951
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 2: got to see. See, although she wasn't wrong with the sea,

952
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: I do believe that you know, causes for a very

953
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: stern talk, roping Alex back into what's important. No matter

954
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: what school work, you gotta be, you gotta get there.

955
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 2: But this is ridiculous.

956
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: I agree, and that's why it's ridiculous. That's why she's

957
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Yeah before, Oh yeah, Now.

958
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: She's got a letterman jacket exactly, and a letter and

959
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 2: a trophy.

960
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Doc, you suck. Rabbi Lewis promises if Alex's grades

961
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: don't turn around soon, he'll intervene personally. And now it's

962
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: game time. Coach Lamont in a beautiful white suit by

963
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: the way, is giving the team a pep talk in

964
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: the locker room. He makes them bark like dogs to

965
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: get ready. I guess you had to be there.

966
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: Awkward.

967
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: That's the night scene for nineties early two thousand. Yeah, but.

968
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: Are not comfortable.

969
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: They were like raw, Yeah, they're they're they're getting there.

970
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: They're getting there. They have to believe in theirselves. But

971
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: the big shocker here Alex has to sit out because

972
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: he's failing history class, which isn't because he got a

973
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: C minus, which doesn't make you fail. So I don't

974
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: know what's happening here anyway, The point is the Lions

975
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: will be without their star player. During the game, Alex

976
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: is sitting in the stands with Julie, still weirdly in

977
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 1: full uniform. He can't believe he isn't playing, but everyone

978
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: is playing better without him hogging the ball. He gets

979
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: into a little spat with Julie when she points that out,

980
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: and she leaves as a result. Also, the team loses. Also,

981
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: are Julian and Alex supposed to be crushing on each other?

982
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: I feel like there was an entire storyline removed from

983
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: the film and this was pointless. Are they friends? Are

984
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: they dating? Did she go to a different school? That

985
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: is she also Jewish? What is happening?

986
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 2: She goes to a different school? I mean they they

987
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: set it up from the like, you know, Asta Luego

988
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: or whatever, different they set up the different cultures. I

989
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: do like that being the dynamic of like a friendship

990
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 2: or possibly like a little you know, romance crush thing,

991
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: but it never goes anywhere. And in this fight that

992
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: we're seeing, they'd never talk about it after, so I

993
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 2: either it was cut or this writing was just they

994
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: I know what.

995
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: I think it was. You know what I frankly think

996
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: it was is they needed a girl his age exactly

997
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: because the only thing you remove her from the film

998
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: entirely and make every part she was doing one of

999
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 1: his friends, like in the beginning walking through the city

1000
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: that stick, then you don't need her at all. I mean,

1001
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: she's completely superfluous to the entire movie.

1002
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: I think it was, like you said, Disney, wanting to

1003
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 2: make sure that the girl was some type of girl.

1004
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: But if she doesn't have a meaning or a purpose

1005
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: other than to take over his right workload at the hospital.

1006
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: That's it. Well, think about if she's not in the movie,

1007
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: think about the only two other females in the movie.

1008
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: It's missus Klein and his mom, who are both pretty awful. Yeah,

1009
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: so unless you have some type of softer friend like

1010
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: female in the movie, then it really makes women look

1011
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: pretty terrible. It's because it's all men and the two

1012
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: women that are there are whiny and authoritarian, and it's like, yeah,

1013
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 1: you need to do something, but she just didn't give

1014
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: her anything.

1015
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: Just develop something for her, some kind of situation.

1016
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: Something, whatever it is. Well, later that week, Rabbi Lewis

1017
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: agrees to let Alex retake the history test, and so

1018
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: his teammates help him study, suggesting he dribble a ball

1019
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: while he memorizes facts since he's so good at remembering

1020
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: and analyzing plays in the court. This also made no

1021
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: sense to me because if he was a bad student,

1022
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be surprised that he got a C minus

1023
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: and his grades wouldn't be slipping because of basketball. So

1024
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: it means he's actually a good student and wouldn't need

1025
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: his friend's help to have them study for the test.

1026
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's more so about.

1027
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean again, if he got to C minus and

1028
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: his grades were slipping, that means he's a B B

1029
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: plus student, So then why the hell of his friends

1030
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: need to help him study?

1031
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: So yes, so I think what the main reason was

1032
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: was to have the team rally again, like rally for

1033
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 2: him and be there to help him get his grade

1034
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: back up. That's what it seemed like to me.

1035
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense, but again, yeah, okay, I mean,

1036
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: and I get what they're doing, but it's like he's

1037
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,479
Speaker 1: now then at the in the classroom pretending to bounce

1038
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: a basketball like he's a terrible student he's gonna remember,

1039
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 1: But he's not a terrible student. He's a good student

1040
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: who's grades are slipping, so yeah, I don't know.

1041
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 2: Okay that that was an eye roll for me. I know,

1042
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: if he actually was sitting there bouncing, I think it

1043
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 2: would have been a little bit easier. But he was like,

1044
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: are you petting a dog?

1045
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: Or yeah, it would and then the rabbi is doing

1046
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: it behind him too. It was, yeah, that was a

1047
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: little I don't know.

1048
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 2: I didn't like.

1049
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't disagree, I don't disagree. But while at practice,

1050
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: the team is still down from the loss. They don't

1051
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: even know why they'd play without Alex, but Lamont convinces

1052
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: him it's a team game, not just dependent on one player,

1053
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: and so TJ will work on his technical foul issue,

1054
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: Stick will work on his hook shot. Another teammate, Joker,

1055
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: works on his trash talk, and when he instructs another

1056
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: player to be the butt of the team for rebounds

1057
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: and missus plyin overhears this weird suggestion, and mun's often

1058
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: discussed because of course the word butt. Lamont also teaches

1059
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: the squad a new, quote unquote downtown version of the

1060
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,959
Speaker 1: school song, and It's not good. Soon after Alex arrived

1061
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: in the coach's office with his now graded makeup test,

1062
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: he got a B plus he passed. He's ready to play.

1063
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: Lamont cuts practice short to go play one on one

1064
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: against a friend who's wearing a Raptor's jersey. This is

1065
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: probably a nod to their location at Toronto, but worth

1066
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 1: remembering they're supposed to be in Philly. At his next practice,

1067
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 1: Lamont breaks some bad news. They're gonna have to play

1068
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: in the tournament without him. That guy in the Raptor's

1069
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: jersey was his friend who plays in the NBA and

1070
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: now the Sixers, So why was not wearing a Raptors jersey?

1071
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: Call him for a ten day contract, saying, just saying,

1072
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: the kid, you know what I do. I play for

1073
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: the Sixers, so I'm gonna wear an opposing team's jersey.

1074
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: The kids are devastated, but deep down they're happy for him.

1075
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: Missus Klein enters and sees their sadness. Alex tries to

1076
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: reason with Lemot in the hallway, but coach says he

1077
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: kept his word. He said he'd be there until the

1078
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: Sixers reached out, and now they did. The two friends

1079
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: call each other selfish. Alex wants him to focus on

1080
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: coaching and his family, Lamont wanting the NBA to offer

1081
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 1: a big contract money to help help his family. Lamont

1082
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: says after the tournament he'd be back in the streets

1083
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: since this gig is seasonal and the Sixers tryout is

1084
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: a big break. Yes, it's a tryout for an NBA team.

1085
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: See you to go and do that, I'm sorry and

1086
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 2: I love you. Yes, I would. I will come back

1087
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 2: and visit at times on my off season. I will

1088
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: come back, but I gotta go.

1089
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, let's figure something out. I'm a professional

1090
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: basketball play.

1091
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 2: It's not hard to see or think that a teenager

1092
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 2: at that courge would not. I would have a hard

1093
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 2: time seeing the bigger picture.

1094
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: Of course I get it, but yeah, but I don't.

1095
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: Everybody else has got to be like dude.

1096
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't blame Lamont. You gotta go pissed. If you didn't,

1097
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: you gotta go.

1098
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: Of course. Alex rushes off to ask his mom if

1099
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: the school can hire Lamont as a full time coach,

1100
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: but she says it's not something she can recommend. She

1101
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: blames money and priorities, but it's obviously about Alex and basketball.

1102
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: She says. Lamont ditched his family to chase an on

1103
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: a achievable goal, and she thinks he's just a stranger.

1104
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: With Rabbi Lewis recounting the lessons of Judah Maccabee in

1105
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: his office, Alex realizes he can't imagine victory without his

1106
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: own Judah to lead the way. But Rabbi Lewis suggests

1107
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: that perhaps Judas's strength isn't something to look for in others,

1108
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,879
Speaker 1: it's something to uncover within yourself. Maybe Alex doesn't need

1109
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: to find Judah, maybe he can be one. And that night,

1110
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: another candle is lit for Hankah and Alex continues to

1111
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: practice in the school gym. Coach Lamont catches him on

1112
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,959
Speaker 1: his way out and you can see his decision still

1113
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: weighs heavy. And now's time for the Big Liberty Tournament

1114
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: at the Hebrew Academy. There's lots of fans in the

1115
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: stands now, and Alex is now doubling as a coach

1116
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 1: for game one. The Lions take control early and they

1117
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: chalk up wins in the first three games, finding themselves

1118
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: in the semifinals. We see this during a montage. Okay,

1119
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 1: stop everything right now. The whole point of this was

1120
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: that they had not won a game in nineteen games.

1121
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: They don't even address their first win. No, you just

1122
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: won for the first time in forever, and it's just

1123
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: thrown into a montage. We don't get oh my god,

1124
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: we just won a game. They won. They just won

1125
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: a game.

1126
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 2: Nothing telling you. I literally was like, I mean, I

1127
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 2: get it. They're keeping it pushing because this isn't the

1128
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 2: big game, right, but there's acknowledge to be a moment

1129
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 2: like we did it like this is I mean, you know,

1130
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: they went through it so fast.

1131
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.

1132
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 2: We get to that ninety minute mark if they had

1133
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: gone if they had just.

1134
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: Added one, I know, I know, but they that's the sea.

1135
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you cut the I hate to say this,

1136
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: you cut the girl scenes out because she's not necessary. Yes,

1137
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: and I get why she's there, but they've done nothing

1138
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: with their story wise, so she really doesn't need to

1139
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: be there.

1140
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: You cut that out, or they cut her stuff to

1141
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 2: make it ninety.

1142
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: Yes, and then you jump, but then you have something

1143
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: we just won there looking at each other like we

1144
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: want a game. This is amazing. That was the whole

1145
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: point is they were a winless team that just won,

1146
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: and they blew past that like it was just part

1147
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: of a montage. I couldn't believe it.

1148
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's because they were still wanting to

1149
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 2: kind of hold back that excitement for the final.

1150
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: But then they do another game where Alex is at

1151
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: the free throw line and he's got to sync the

1152
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: last two and that's not the last game either, So

1153
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: what are they holding back? It's like, why, what the

1154
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: hell is happening? They yeah, anyway, even when Alex has

1155
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: put on the line, like I just said, to shoot

1156
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: two free throws for the win with basically every character

1157
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: in the gym, from Rabbi Lewis to Tyler to missus Klein,

1158
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: he scores effortlessly and now they're going to the finals

1159
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: to face their art rivals, the Warriors, which again I

1160
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 1: get why they did it. But come on the next day,

1161
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: Alex's mom walks into her office to find Alex staring

1162
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 1: out the window. He lets her know they made the finals,

1163
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: because of course, she hasn't been at a single game

1164
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: nice and wonders why she doesn't trust him. He admits

1165
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 1: will be almost impossible to make the NBA, but he

1166
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: still wants her support. Valid She explains that when he

1167
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: became a man at his bar mits foot was also

1168
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 1: a step for her and letting go, and it's been difficult.

1169
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: She want him to explain what basketball means to him,

1170
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: and so he says, when the ball's in his hand,

1171
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: everything around him just disappears. His entire life is right

1172
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: there in that moment. It seems like maybe Cynthia is

1173
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: finally possibly starting to understand, but I still hate her.

1174
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: And then back at the borrow condo, coach Lamont is

1175
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: icing his knees, still pining over his family. When he

1176
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: calls home, he admits he's been doing some hard thinking

1177
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: and he has an idea. And now it's a very

1178
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: rainy day for the finals. It's once again a packed

1179
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: house with Rabbi Lewis handing out school hats and this

1180
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: is I thought was an opportunity that could they miss

1181
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: to have school yamakas, but whatever, and then the Lions

1182
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 1: take the court while performing an absolutely unhinged synchronized dance

1183
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: to a dradal rap song. They made the Drado dradl

1184
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: drade song into a rap song. It's up there with

1185
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: the camp rock amphitheater move. So if anyone out there

1186
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: enjoys making memes, well there you go. That one's on us. Sabrina.

1187
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: I mean, legally, we have to ask because of our

1188
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: contract with iHeart, you're our resident dance expert by the

1189
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: Graham kidding, iHeart has nothing to do with it.

1190
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't know where you go like, that's not in this.

1191
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: Scrit it's not at all. How where their dance moves

1192
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: it was.

1193
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 2: This was the most ridiculous. I was belly laughing, like

1194
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 2: the entire the song was so bad, and here it

1195
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: comes from normal, like out of nowhere. Up to this point,

1196
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: I was it was mainly just what like a you know,

1197
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 2: background noise up to this point, any kind of music

1198
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 2: that they've played, right, nothing stuck out, wasn't any It

1199
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: wasn't a part of the DCOM, which a lot of

1200
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 2: times we do feel like it's almost a big part

1201
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 2: of the DCOM is the style of style, trace and

1202
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 2: all of that. This was out of nowhere, the most

1203
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 2: ridiculous song, the most ridiculous scene. I had no idea

1204
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 2: what I was watching, why it was happening to us,

1205
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 2: Why did this have to happen. I don't know.

1206
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: It was weird.

1207
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 2: Why and these poor kids doing it like, oh no,

1208
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 2: one looked comfortable. I can't imagine. It was comfortable on set,

1209
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: like it just was like why why why? Yeah, why,

1210
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 2: it's a basketball movie. Then no way did we need this,

1211
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: No nor want it. No, take it back, take it back,

1212
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 2: take it back.

1213
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 1: It was so weird. And again when I started to

1214
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: listening to the song, I was like, oh, it's dradl

1215
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: dradl dradell. I made you want to clay as a

1216
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: rap song. Yes, and then they're dancers. It was like, ooh,

1217
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: these are not.

1218
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh my god.

1219
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah it was not. You could have cut that and

1220
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: that would have given you plenty of time to then

1221
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: enjoy your win. There you go, there you go. Yeah,

1222
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: mister Simowitz gives the Lions some pregame praise, reminding us

1223
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: of their original terrible coach, and now here it is

1224
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: Warriors versus Lion. We get a bit of a flashback

1225
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: to the battle in Israel we saw at the beginning

1226
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: of the movie, and we know this is going to

1227
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: be a good one. And over at Alex's mom's office,

1228
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: because she's still not at the championship game, she's with Julie,

1229
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: who's apparently still in the shadow program. They're rushing out

1230
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: of the office to make the game okay. There we go,

1231
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: so at least they're going, but there's one thing that

1232
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: Cynthia has to do first. And speaking of the game,

1233
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: the lines are unfortunately down twelve early Tyler and their

1234
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: warriors are as good as advertised. Alex spots Julian in

1235
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: the stand. She's holding a sign that reads Miracles can happen,

1236
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't even be in this movie, and then

1237
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 1: I'll that's not what the sign says. It just says

1238
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: miracles can happen. And then almost like miracles can happen,

1239
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 1: thunder and lightning storms up and ramps up. Outside we're

1240
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: transported to what is supposed to be the first Union

1241
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 1: Center of Philadelphia, but it's definitely not because they're filming

1242
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: in Canada. It's after a Sixers game and a visiting

1243
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: player is signing an autograph for a young fan. Cynthia

1244
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: pulls up in her card asks if she's seen Lamont.

1245
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: The player suggests looking inside, but she has one question

1246
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: for the random six foot nine pro. What would he

1247
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: say to a fourteen year old five foot tall kid

1248
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: who wants to play in the NBA? He answers sign

1249
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: him up. He's a big dreamer. She smiles and gets

1250
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: an autograph for Alex and.

1251
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: We're still wondering where the security guards are for security?

1252
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: This guy actually was Was he an actual basketball player?

1253
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 2: The guy on the card, That's what I was thinking.

1254
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 2: Was he Doctor J. Doctor J is that was on

1255
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 2: the card is a real NBA player.

1256
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm passive because I'm letting you. I'm letting you.

1257
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: Did you freeze again? Are you asking me if Julius

1258
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: Irving doctor J is a real basketball player? Yes, yes, yes,

1259
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: doctor AULI. Yes, he's arguably, well not arguably, he's one

1260
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: of the best players that's ever played the game and

1261
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: one of the most Doctor J.

1262
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 2: He's not been in any of the documentaries that I've

1263
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 2: watched in basketball. They've never brought this guy up.

1264
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: So you know Magic Johnson is.

1265
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 2: Yes, I know who Magic Johnson is.

1266
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: He played with doctor J. It was the two of them.

1267
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: They were like Kobe and Shaq. Oh wow, yeah he was.

1268
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: He was the man. He was at Lisa, I don't

1269
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: watch basketball much and I even know who he is.

1270
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, producer, Lisa. Doctor J. He's doctor J. Okay,

1271
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 1: So this guy wasn't him?

1272
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 2: Clearly?

1273
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: No? No, again, that's the the seventies and the eighties

1274
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: is when Doctor j played Okay, okay, And now back

1275
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 1: to reality. We are back in the gym. The Lions

1276
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: are now down eighteen and the storm is getting much worse.

1277
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: And that's when the electricity goes out in the gymnasium.

1278
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: That's how I'm gonna say it. Meanwhile, back at the

1279
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: fake First Union Center, which is what we're calling it,

1280
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: she finally tracks down Lamott, who's tending to his van

1281
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: now with the smoking engine. He says the car won't

1282
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: start and he's gotten rushed to the airport. He just

1283
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: had the engine fixed, so this doesn't make any sense,

1284
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: but Cynthia thinks it does. She asked him to try

1285
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 1: the engine again, and this time it does start. We're

1286
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: in the midst of what appears to be a divine

1287
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: intervention for a mid level high school basketball tournament in

1288
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: philadelp God certainly works in mysterious ways. Back at school,

1289
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the staff is trying to get the power back on.

1290
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: If they can't resume the game, the Warriors will be

1291
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 1: crowned champions. But then an alternative is suggested. They could

1292
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: start the emergency generator and play until the fuel runs out, which,

1293
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: upon further investigation would be very quick. The school decides

1294
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: that no matter how much time is on the official clock,

1295
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: when the generator does run out, whoever's winning gets the trophy,

1296
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: which is an absolute stupid decision considering the Lions are

1297
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: getting blown out. This makes no sense.

1298
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: It makes no sense.

1299
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Hate it.

1300
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 2: I hate the worst idea ever.

1301
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: Yep. But yet both teams agree and the power is

1302
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: temporarily back on with no idea how much is left.

1303
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: Mister Simmowitz is left in charge of the generator outside

1304
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: and the game resumes, which leads me to believe or

1305
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: not believe, but think, Okay, we've got a generator that's

1306
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: running out of fuel. Go get more fuel. You're in

1307
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the middle of Philadelphia. You're probably three minutes from a

1308
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: gas station. Go get more fuel.

1309
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 2: Right, What is this like? Specific few? I mean, I

1310
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: know zero. I know nothing about a doctor basketball, I

1311
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 2: know zero about generators.

1312
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: See, it's either a regular gas or a diesel generator,

1313
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: in which case you go a gas station, you fill

1314
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: it up, fill up your stuff, and then you go.

1315
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: And it's also it's you know, I get what they're doing.

1316
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: Of course it's supposed to mirror Hanika and the maccabees.

1317
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Of course I understand that, but address the fact that

1318
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 1: everything's closed. There's no power, so none of the gas

1319
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: stations are working something because it's like, you stay here,

1320
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna run and go get more fuel. That's it. Yes,

1321
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: that's it. Phone a friend, Yes, exactly. So it's not

1322
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a good it's yeah right, I'd like to lifeline please,

1323
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: because it wasn't it's not a good idea to let

1324
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: them play when they're down by eighteen, and it's not

1325
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: a good idea to just not go get more fuel.

1326
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: But I get what they're doing right anyway. Like I said,

1327
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: mister Simowitz is left in charge and the generator outside,

1328
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: and the game resumes. The Lion's going to run quickly,

1329
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: cutting the lead to ten while the lights glitch sporadically

1330
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: fighting through the outage. Outside, Mister Simowits watches the fuel disappear,

1331
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: and then he realizes something. He rushes inside the gym

1332
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: and calls a time out, which apparently that's something anyone

1333
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: can do, so the next time you're on an NBA game,

1334
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: try it. I'd like to see how that works. Simowitz

1335
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: huddles the team together and says, thanks to algebra, he's

1336
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: figure out exactly how much time the Generator has left.

1337
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: They have two minutes and forty five well now forty

1338
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: three seconds left, and they spend an awful lot of

1339
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: time doing this. As the time is running out, the

1340
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Lions hustle back on court, knowing their time is short,

1341
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: and just when the play resumes, Tyler thinks on his

1342
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: toes and calls a timeout for the Warriors. Their game

1343
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: plan is to stall and run the Generator to death, which,

1344
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: let's be honest, is the mindset of a champion, right?

1345
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: Really is? The Lions think this isn't fair, and it's

1346
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: not fair. It's a game, that's how it works. There

1347
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: are five minutes left in the game clock, but less

1348
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: than a minute left of fuel, and now totally defeated,

1349
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: Alex takes the bench, so much for the miracle, and

1350
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: then a beam of light appears at the gym door.

1351
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: It's Coach Lamont. He wonders if the whole story about

1352
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the maccabe's was made up? How did the light and

1353
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: the temples they miraculously lit for eight days? The boys

1354
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 1: don't want to hear fairy tales. With less than fifteen

1355
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 1: seconds of fuel left, but Alex almost possessed by the

1356
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: spirit of Judah, walks onto the court as the Warriors

1357
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: count down in the last ten seconds of light, and

1358
01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: right on cue, the generator stops and the lights go

1359
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: out once again. The Warriors celebrate their win, but then

1360
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: just as quickly as it's turned off, despite having no

1361
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: fuel left, the generator starts again. The gym now shines

1362
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: with no explanation, just like the lights that inspired Hanukkah,

1363
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: and no one questions it. The game starts back up.

1364
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: The Glides continue the game with Lamont coaching again, getting

1365
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: them within six points. Mister Simwitz is still outside, totally

1366
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: confused by the fuellless generator. From the stands, missus Klein

1367
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,959
Speaker 1: yell shakes some booty for little to no reason at all,

1368
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: and now Alex makes it a one point game fifty

1369
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: four to fifty three, but the Generator is struggling once again.

1370
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: With ten seconds left in the game clock, Cynthia enters

1371
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: the gym just as Alex gets the ball. You have

1372
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: to wonder what the hell took her so long. Anyway,

1373
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 1: Alex is perfectly defended and can't find a shot, so

1374
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: instead of just forcing it like he used to, he

1375
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: decides to trust his teammates and passes to Stick, who

1376
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: attempts his hook shot. While the ball travels to the hoop,

1377
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: the generator dies again and the lights go out. The

1378
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: score erupts and sparks, leaving only a light to see

1379
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: the ball go in the hoop. The Lions went at

1380
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the buzzer, and in the celebration, we notice Julie has

1381
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: changed her sign. It now reads miracles do happen and

1382
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: I still don't belong in this movie. The Lions hold

1383
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: up their trophy as coach Lamon explains he was able

1384
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: to speed to the game because Cynthia took care of

1385
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: what he needed to do at the airport. It's revealed

1386
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: that Lamont's family is now in town, and this is

1387
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: all thanks to Cynthia that they're there, and that's obviously

1388
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: why she was late to the game, so it's nice

1389
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: that she cared more about another family than her own.

1390
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: As Lamont regnites, it's true. As Lamont reunites with his family,

1391
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: Cynthia says she plans on convincing Rabbi Lewis to hire

1392
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Lamont as a full time coach. He admits he has

1393
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: a new dream. He has bad neees and a boy

1394
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: who needs his dad around. So East Hebrew is looking

1395
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: pretty good to him. The movie ends with Alex and

1396
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: his family shooting hoops with Lamontz family outside of Alex's house.

1397
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: We get some quick narration about Hanukkah and that's our movie. Look, hi,

1398
01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm everyone, and now are real reviews. I've got the

1399
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: five star this week, Sabrina, which I'm very happy about.

1400
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: It's from Perfect Dark zero fan and it says, hallelujah,

1401
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm Christian and I love this movie. Hey there we

01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: go right on? All right, who do you got this week?

1403
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 2: I've got the one star by our friend I feel

1404
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: like we haven't had in a while.

1405
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: Md Noma's back unnamed.

1406
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 2: One star here. I don't get Jewish stuff. All right? Then,

1407
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 2: thank you.

1408
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Right on the money. Thank you very much for you know,

1409
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 1: not only saying that but also not even writing your

1410
01:06:41,160 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: name down. What a weird review.

1411
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Anyways, of your own time.

1412
01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: It is your and our time as well. Now, thank you, nomad.

1413
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: So now we are two. Sabrina's favorite part and I

1414
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: already see where this is going. This is gonna be

1415
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: a tough week.

1416
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm Jensen's not here today.

1417
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: I know we don't have producer Jensen here. Who's who's

1418
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,240
Speaker 1: written up our our our feature. Who is going to

1419
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: be helping us this week?

1420
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: It's me?

1421
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Okay, yay, So here we go. Our feature this week

1422
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: is called happy Hebrew to celebrate the inclusion of Judaism

1423
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: and Hanukkah in this week's d com. We have been

1424
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: given a Hebrew word, and for multiple choice options, we

1425
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: have to pick what it means three out of five wins.

1426
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: I am going to preface everything I say now by

1427
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: apologizing profusely for pronunciation. I'm sure I'm going to be

1428
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: getting all of these wrong, and I am so sorry.

1429
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: So here we go.

1430
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: Better better you than me, because I would absolutely butcher these.

1431
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 2: There's way I could.

1432
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: Here we go.

1433
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a much better success than I could have.

1434
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: The first one Producer Jensen wrote for us is not

1435
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: even part of the game. It's just to get us rolling,

1436
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: and it's be hatch latcha. I'm sure all that is wrong,

1437
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: but that apparently means good luck in Hebrew. And I

1438
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: again cannot apologize enough for my pronunciation. So here we go.

1439
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: Number one ah ah vah uh Java. I don't know

1440
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: if I'm saying that right. Is it a persistence B

1442
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Or D slam dunk, which again we know it's not

1443
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: that A java. You're gonna say, see you're welcome. I'm

Speaker 1: see you're welcome.

1446
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 2: The answer is B love.

1447
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: Okay. Number two, this is gonna be a rough week.

1448
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: Number two, ma yim, ma yim. Is it a dream,

1449
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: B fire, seawater or D double dribble A dream. I'm

1450
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: gonna say it's.

1451
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 2: Seawater, it is cwater?

1452
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Got one? Okay? Number three? Bay yeat, bay yeat? Is

Speaker 1: that a home? C car, C shoe or d alop?

1454
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that any of these would be basketball?

1455
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they have Jewish like they must. I mean,

1456
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 1: I imagine there's got to be Yiddish words for Hebrew, Yiddish

1457
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: words for basketball. I would imagine. I'm gonna say it's

1458
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: I'll go first this time. I'm gonna say it's a home.

1459
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with a home. Two It is a home. Yes,

1460
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 2: at least got one?

1461
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: I need I need one or two more to win.

1462
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Number four yom y o h m yom. Again, I

1463
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: can just only apologize for how I'm sure I'm mispronouncing

1464
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: all of these. Is it a day, B night, C

1465
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 1: brunch or D free throw? Yom? Oh? Wait, oh wait, yeah,

1466
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: so I think that's the sort of like yom kippor

1467
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: is that the same kind of thing without mean night?

1468
01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say b night.

1469
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that brunches is it?

1470
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: It's totally but I'm gonna say b night.

1471
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,719
Speaker 2: It's a day, okay?

1472
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Is that the same as you kipor? I wonder if

1473
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: that's how you started. And then number five is ave

1474
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: a ra ave ave ra, which is kind? Is that

1475
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: a clean a kind? See unhappy or de personal foul?

1476
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:20,679
Speaker 1: You're saying be kind kind on five, I'm gonna say

1477
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna say be kind.

1478
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 2: So you asked if there are any basketball terms in here.

1479
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: I haven't seen man way to go, producer Jensen. So

1480
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,200
Speaker 1: we both what's the what's the the Hebrew word for lost?

1481
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Because that's what we just did. Uh, can we do

1482
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: some sabrinas?

1483
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 2: C's Oh my gosh, okay, yes, one thing we didn't

1484
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 2: talk about at all. And I think it's worth just

1485
01:10:53,400 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 2: speaking on this kid was tiny compared to every one.

1486
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,680
Speaker 2: What I guess this is sort of more of just

1487
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 2: like you know, obviously it's not hard to not see that,

1488
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 2: But what do you think the significance and the reason why?

1489
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 2: Do you really think it was just because that's the

1490
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 2: actor that they wanted. Do you feel like it was

1491
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 2: to help make Lamont look taller?

1492
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a combination. It's supposed to be

1493
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 1: the actor and it's supposed to be the ultimate underdog story.

1494
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: So obviously the smaller he is because all of his friends.

1495
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 2: And then that that brings me to the next do

1496
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 2: you honestly feel like these kids look like they were

1497
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 2: in high school?

1498
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: See, it's funny I freshmen, Yeah, freshmen.

1499
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: I think could be freshman. He did it look like

1500
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 2: a freshman though. But then at the same time, and

1501
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 2: a seventh eighth.

1502
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Grader, nobody in the school looked particularly older, you know

1503
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like it all worked all the atmosphere

1504
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: and everybody all kind of looked the same age. Ringe.

1505
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: But had they made this middle school, it seemed like

1506
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: it would have been it would have made more sense.

1507
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, because they did, they all looked younger.

1508
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 2: I agree, because and you don't really get into it

1509
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 2: because I felt like it was a junior high knowing

1510
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 2: that like not a lot of the decoms of this

1511
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 2: time were set in a high school. They were mainly

1512
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,719
Speaker 2: you know, junior high, right, And then all of a sudden,

1513
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 2: they're starting talking about pre s A t's and I went, wait, right,

1514
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 2: and then it was like, oh, they're in high school.

1515
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 2: So that kind of just was a little like, I

1516
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 2: really honestly don't know. Another thing that talking about bringing

1517
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 2: up our our mom again is when she cooks like

1518
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 2: the fastest cooking of of an egg go it goes

1519
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 2: in there for five seconds and then goes on. First

1520
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 2: of all, you're supposed to toast eggos.

1521
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: Well, that's the point is she can't cook it all.

1522
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: So she puts it in the microwave for like ten seconds,

1523
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: and that's why he drops it.

1524
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 2: Likedk okay, yeah, it's it's.

1525
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be that she literally can't even

1526
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: cook an eggo waffle.

1527
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 2: But it was like so fast and just like holy cow. Yeah,

1528
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 2: so all right, so they made that one and then

1529
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 2: two more things. His bed that he had in this

1530
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 2: movie was hilarious. It was like it looked like a cobble.

1531
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 2: I mean it was this the cobblestone bed post that

1532
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 2: was like round arched. It was like this castle looking

1533
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 2: I'm trying to go for like a temple, like if

1534
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 2: we're going back into like what the like, you know.

1535
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 2: The flashbacks kind of were like of something like that,

1536
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 2: but it was like the most absurd.

1537
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,520
Speaker 1: Bed I didn't even notice.

1538
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 2: The last thing or well there's two more. Sorry again,

1539
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: the last thing is did you notice? And I don't

1540
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 2: know if I was just I rewatched it a couple

1541
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 2: of times trying to figure out what was going on.

1542
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 2: When Lamont is having like he's icing his knee, he's

1543
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 2: he's been playing or whatever, and then the phone. He's

1544
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 2: on the phone at one point and the words are, hey, sweetie,

1545
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: how are you doing? But it's a man's voice, but

1546
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be his wife, but it was like

1547
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 2: literally it sounded like it was like it was like

1548
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 2: the So I wasn't sure if it was like him

1549
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 2: saying that, but the voiceover didn't connector but it was

1550
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 2: definitely a man's voice. But then he's answering to it,

1551
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 2: so like I don't know it was very confusing. I

1552
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 2: rewatched it a couple of times to figure out what

1553
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 2: was going on because it just popped out like so crazy.

1554
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: And then my last thing is when you go on

1555
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 2: Disney Plus, do you ever watched the trailer?

1556
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: But occasionally I did not watch this one, but occasionally

1557
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: I will do it.

1558
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,640
Speaker 2: The trailer for this movie gives you really not a

1559
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,200
Speaker 2: lot of insight on what's going to happen. It says,

1560
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 2: I forget what the little quick one sentence of you know,

1561
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:57,439
Speaker 2: like ex basketball star right coaches a Jewish you know,

1562
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 2: rundown team type thing. That's what it was. And then

1563
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 2: the actual trailer is the scene of them helping him study.

1564
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's weird, Okay, Like, so I watched that first,

1565
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 2: which I normally don't. I don't always. I don't always

1566
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 2: like see the trailer. I don't know if it's always.

1567
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: An option occasionally do it, but you know what I mean.

1568
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 2: But I clicked on it and I was like, oh God,

1569
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 2: this is I'm not even like in it at all. Whatever,

1570
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,719
Speaker 2: But it's just so funny because the trailer really doesn't

1571
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,799
Speaker 2: say or show you anything. And the couple of trailers,

1572
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 2: even when I watched the Cheetah Girls trailer. It was like,

1573
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 2: that is the weirdest trailer because it's not and it's

1574
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 2: not even what was on the channel at the time

1575
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: to promote the movie either.

1576
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:40,799
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know, I don't know how Disney

1577
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,879
Speaker 1: does it, but in a lot of different film companies,

1578
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: the actual director or people involved with the film don't

1579
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: cut the trailer right. So occasionally they will if they're

1580
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: allowed to, but a lot of times they'll bring in

1581
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: a company or they'll do something else and it's like,

1582
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: that's the trailer you cut together. Yeah, so yeah, you

1583
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: never know who's doing it.

1584
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 2: But it's like, I feel like more often on the

1585
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 2: Disney Plus, so I don't know if they're just they're

1586
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 2: going back and doing it like Disney pluses, so it's

1587
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: just kind of like after the fact or whatever. But

1588
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 2: the trailers don't always make sense, So I'm going to

1589
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 2: be making sure there's a trailer I love that. I

1590
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,840
Speaker 2: also sort of rate the trailers because this one made zero.

1591
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: This is a bad rate, big zero, big old Well,

1592
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: speaking of rating, it's our time to now rate our film. Uh,

1593
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go with what that fan that

1594
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: I met at the convention says, I think we should

1595
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: do this week one will be the least and ten

1596
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: will be the most.

1597
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Pamely because they suggested, well, yeah.

1598
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,600
Speaker 1: They suggested it. It makes sense, and we're going to

1599
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: do that. It's our fan fan shout out of the week.

1600
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: I also think it's you are rating first this time.

1601
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: I think I rated first last time. Yes, and so

1602
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: now it's up to you and let's figure out how

1603
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 1: we want to rate this. Do you want to do

1604
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: one out of ten actors with initials, one out of

1605
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: ten pagers, sugar in video games, one out of ten

1606
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: sketchy vans, horse Radish fish, butts of the team, one

1607
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: out of ten borrowed condos, or one one out of

1608
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: ten miracle generators. I'm also gonna add one out of ten.

1609
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,719
Speaker 1: Why don't you just go get some gases? How about you, Sabrina,

1610
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: which one do you want to pick this week?

1611
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 2: I think because it was such a triggering point for me,

1612
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 2: I gotta go a sketchy van.

1613
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Good. I was hoping you would pick it. We are

1614
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 1: doing one out of ten sketchy vans again for our fan.

1615
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:18,719
Speaker 1: One's gonna be the least and ten's gonna be the most.

1616
01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: What do you got for us this week, Sabrina.

1617
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 2: This week you know again. After watching that trailer, I

1618
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 2: was like, Ugh, this is gonna be a snooze fest.

1619
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 2: I actually and again I said it before the like

1620
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 2: religious aspect hits you right at the front. Now, not

1621
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 2: knowing a lot about it, I was like, oh, I'm

1622
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 2: gonna learn quite a bit. And I did you got

1623
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 2: the dinner area, talked about the shot moods. Ye, yes,

1624
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 2: the you know, the Yamakas. There's certain things that we got.

1625
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 2: We got a little bit of that, like inspirational story

1626
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 2: with the Maccabees, and it was a good amount. It

1627
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 2: was balanced to me, along with a basketball right. And

1628
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 2: I love kids and sports movies. They're just fun to me.

1629
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 2: I think they're great, big dreams. I love it and

1630
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 2: I actually this movie wasn't one of my favorites, but

1631
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 2: it definitely wasn't at all even close to being a

1632
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 2: bad movie. Right. I actually ended up at the end going, hey,

1633
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 2: I actually really liked that movie.

1634
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: I was not.

1635
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 2: I did not have high hopes for it, and it

1636
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 2: actually was a good movie. I thought it was great.

1637
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 2: I thought the Lamont character was an awesome character. This

1638
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: didn't reinvent the wheel. You know, X Superstar comes back

1639
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 2: and helps. It's not a reinvention of a storyline, but

1640
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 2: I liked it. I thought that the twist of having

1641
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 2: the Hebrew culture was very cool and for me, a

1642
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 2: great way to kind of feel like I'm now interested

1643
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 2: and I'm actually probably gonna look into it and learn more.

1644
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 2: So I gave it this week a seven Sketchy Vans.

1645
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I'm kind of right there with you.

1646
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: There was parts of this movie I did not like.

1647
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: It might have been ninety minutes on the dot, but

1648
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: it played longer to me. It seemed like it was

1649
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 1: a little longer than ninety minutes. There were some serious

1650
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:15,799
Speaker 1: sound issues with this movie. There was a lot of adr,

1651
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: a lot of things that, you know, again sound wise,

1652
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:23,920
Speaker 1: weren't great. The only female character that was even semi

1653
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: likable didn't even have to be in the movie, so

1654
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: the whole point of her being there made no sense.

1655
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: Poor girl, that's poor girl.

1656
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 2: Yes, and again, I just know too. If we had

1657
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 2: a chance to like interview her, she probably would say

1658
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,519
Speaker 2: I had like a whole storyline that got cut.

1659
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: Or she'd be like I was in that movie. I

1660
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: don't even remember shooting this. I was there for a

1661
01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: day and a half. I don't remember. So yeah, this

1662
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: this movie to me. I love Disney taking a swing.

1663
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: I love. I'm always a big fan of cultures that

1664
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: I don't know a whole lot about. Of course, then

1665
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 1: set wrapped up in that Disney kind of esque way. Agreed.

1666
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: I love the Lamont character, the acting. I thought all

1667
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: the acting was good. I did, so I'm kind of

1668
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: right there with you. I'm gonna give it a soft

1669
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: I would give it a hard six point five, but

1670
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:10,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a soft seven as well, Sketchy

1671
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: Vanstch cause again, for you know, some of it didn't

1672
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: make sense, but a lot of these movies some of

1673
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. But it's not, like I said,

1674
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:21,719
Speaker 1: it's not a bad movie. We've seen way worse movies

1675
01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: in this movie, way worse movies than this movie. So

1676
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: there you go. We are both gonna be at seven.

1677
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:32,920

01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,800
Speaker 1: available now. Okay, fun thing. I was about to say

1684
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:53,519
Speaker 1: it's available to stream on Disney Plus. To get your

1685
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: homework done early, folks, but we literally found out as

1686
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:00,799
Speaker 1: we were recording this specific podcast episode.

1687
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 2: It was wild that it happened that it pulled.

1688
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 1: Off of Disney Plus today or yesterday on September one.

1689
01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I'm throwing out the date there. It was literally pulled

1690
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: off a Disney Plus. But we've got so much planned

1691
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: for this. I'm not gonna let you in on too much,

1692
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 1: but we've got a lot planned for it, so we're

1693
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: sticking with it. So it is now on YouTube or Prime.

1694
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: But unfortunately for that, I think the first time in

1695
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: the history of our podcast, you gotta pay for it.

1696
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: So if it's a dollar ninety nine or whatever, send

1697
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 1: all of your bills to Sabrina Brian. She will be

Speaker 1: movie too. Andy Lawrence is worth a couple bucks, but man,

01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: if it's seventeen dollars, I'm just gonna fake my way

Speaker 1: through it. I'm kidding. Oh wait, I'm sorry. We'll be
